On 13 July, Skwawkbox revealed that members of Your Party’s elected executive (CEC) had voted no confidence in three leading CEC figures.

However, both chair Jenn Forbes and party leader Jeremy Corbyn have refused to implement it. Procedural excuses The CEC meeting was quorate — it had the numbers required to be official.…

It shows that people who grew up in London and the South East dominate the key roles making decisions that affect all our lives. Half of all top government officials got their education in London and the South East. Almost a third went to private schools in those regions. This includes 50% of…
